Description
Welcome to Zilvermeeuw 24, a spacious end terraced house located in the charming town of Etten-Leur. This property offers a comfortable and practical living experience, characterized by an abundance of natural light and surprising versatility. With a total living area of approximately 103 square meters, the home provides ample space for daily life while maintaining a layout that ensures every square meter is utilized effectively. The property is particularly well suited for families or individuals looking for a home with flexible living options, featuring four bedrooms, a light filled living room, and a maintenance friendly garden.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the toilet room, the meter cupboard, and the staircase to the first floor. The ground floor is largely equipped with wooden window frames featuring double glazing and includes shutters, allowing for control over light and privacy. A notable feature of the ground floor is the presence of floor heating, which contributes to a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year. From the entrance, you step directly into the living room, which serves as the heart of the home. This living space measures approximately 30 square meters and benefits from large windows on both the front and back facades. These generous window openings allow daylight to stream in freely, creating a pleasant and airy atmosphere that can be enjoyed from morning until evening. The layout of the living room offers significant flexibility, enabling you to create distinct seating and dining areas that suit your personal preferences and lifestyle.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which spans approximately 5 square meters. The kitchen is designed in a practical corner layout that maximizes the available workspace and storage options. It comes fully equipped with a range of essential appliances, including a refrigerator, a combination hot air oven and microwave, a dishwasher, a gas hob, and an extractor fan. This thoughtful configuration ensures that everything you need for meal preparation is within easy reach. The kitchen also provides a direct connection to the outdoors, leading straight to the backyard. This makes it easy to step outside for a breath of fresh air or to serve meals al fresco during the warmer months.
Moving to the first floor, you will find three well proportioned bedrooms and the bathroom. The bedrooms on this level are all pleasant in size and benefit from good natural light. The largest of the three bedrooms measures approximately 12 square meters, offering ample space for a double bed and wardrobes. The other two bedrooms measure 10 square meters and 7 square meters respectively, making them highly suitable for use as childrens rooms, a home office, a hobby room, or a guest bedroom. The presence of three bedrooms on this floor already provides significant capacity for a family, but the property offers even more space on the level above.
The bathroom on the first floor measures approximately 5.5 square meters and is fully tiled. It is fitted with a shower cabin, a washbasin furniture unit, a toilet, and a hand towel radiator. This room is designed to be a practical and functional space where daily routines can be carried out with ease. The fixtures and fittings are arranged to offer convenience and comfort for the residents.
The second floor of the property is accessed via a fixed staircase, revealing a valuable extension of the living space. This attic floor has been transformed into a full fourth bedroom. The room features a sloping roof construction with visible beams and a skylight, giving it a unique and atmospheric character. This space is versatile and can serve as a large master bedroom, a quiet home office, or a dedicated hobby area. On the landing of the second floor, you will find the connections for laundry equipment and the central heating boiler installation. The boiler is a Vaillant EcoTec Plus from 2019, which is a modern and efficient unit. Additionally, this level offers a wealth of practical storage space behind the knee walls, ensuring that the home remains clutter free and organized.
The exterior of the property is just as well maintained as the interior. The backyard is situated on the south, which is a highly desirable location as it allows you to enjoy the sun for a large part of the day. The garden is laid out in a maintenance friendly manner, featuring extensive paving that provides plenty of room for a large dining table, a lounge set, or a combination of both. This makes the outdoor space an ideal spot for relaxing, entertaining friends and family, or simply enjoying the outdoors. At the rear of the garden stands a detached stone storage shed. This shed is perfect for storing bicycles, gardening tools, and other outdoor items. Furthermore, the garden features a back entrance, offering convenient access to the rear of the property.
In terms of construction and technical specifications, the property was built in 1982 and features concrete floors on the upper levels, contributing to a solid structure. The roof is a saddle roof covered with tiles. The energy label is C, reflecting the presence of roof insulation and partial double glazing. While the ground floor windows are largely double glazed, the first floor is equipped with single glazing, which may be a consideration for future energy efficiency improvements. The heating system is supported by the central heating combi boiler from 2019. Parking is available in the form of public parking in the vicinity.
In summary, Zilvermeeuw 24 offers a solid and spacious family home with a practical layout. The combination of four bedrooms, a sunny garden, and a convenient location in Etten-Leur makes this a property with much to offer. The home has been neatly maintained over the years and provides a comfortable foundation for those looking to settle in a pleasant residential area. Whether you are enjoying the light filled living room, cooking in the practical kitchen, or relaxing in the south facing garden, this residence is designed to facilitate a comfortable and enjoyable lifestyle.
